This handmade, sterling silver, wire wrapped pendant is made with a natural stone cabochon of Namibia, African Pietersite. This particular stone has both blue and gold colors. Both of the colors are chatoyant, but the blue is more evident. The pattern is an intricate cacophony of undulating colored fibers.

I used sterling silver to make a secure setting and added sterling a sterling silver woven bail which is made with wire almost the thickness of hair. After that time consuming endeavor, I applied an antique patina and painstakingly removed most of it by hand, leaving the recesses darker, which brings out the texture in the bail.
